| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt Svillander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.3 | I'm Stan Ravinka. I'm Lainey Huit. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:21.0 | Well, we've had a day of the French Open that has been almost entirely about the tennis. |
| 0:26.7 | We are going to dedicate this podcast almost entirely to the tennis. I say almost because there has been |
| 0:32.8 | one further development in the Nomeo Sarka story which I will lead with and we'll get it out of the |
| 0:38.7 | way and then we'll talk about tennis. I say there has been as if day three is past tense. There's |
| 0:46.3 | actually still loads of tennis going on. No doubt Jokovic is on court against tennis. Anger and |
| 0:51.2 | he's playing the second official night session at the French Open and we've also got Carlos |
| 0:56.9 | Warras Navarro at a settle against former finalist Sloane Steven. She's a breakdown in the third |

| 1:40.1 | to her return as soon as she deems appropriate. Mental health is a very challenging issue which |
| 1:44.4 | deserves our utmost attention. It is both complex and personal as what affects one individual does |
| 1:50.9 | not necessarily affect another. We commend Naomi for sharing in her own words the pressures and |
| 1:57.5 | anxiety she's feeling and we empathise with the unique pressures tennis players may face. While |
| 2:03.1 | players well-being has always been a priority to the grand slams our intention together with the WTA |
| 2:08.9 | the ATP and the ITF is to advance mental health and well-being through further actions. Today's |
